Chapter 589

Belowstairs.

Xu Qianqian and the other girl had already been waiting for a while; seeing Jiang Nian come down, they simply moved closer to him.

"Where's Li Yi?"

Jiang Nian muttered behind his back, "Still dawdling—middle-aged women are just like that. Superstitious and always putting things off."

Xu Qianqian gave him a withering look. "If Li Yi finds out you're saying that about her behind her back, you're done for."

Hearing this, Song Anran also glanced at Jiang Nian.

Perhaps she's already

I can't stand that yellow-haired bastard's face—I want to beat him senseless, but right now we're under someone else's roof and must bow our heads.

Su Xiaoqing glanced over; Bai Yuhe was there too, sitting to Su Minghua's right. Two chairs remained empty beside her. Her expression was dreamy, tinged with jealousy, her gaze locked tightly on Gu Xiaoran.

The Han-family soldier muttered to himself, hoping he'd keep his word, and felt some resentment toward Feng Zhong for repeatedly stealing his credit and swallowing up his strategic planning.

But Li Jingyi, struck by sudden upheaval, couldn't sleep at all. She opened the window and watched the outside world unchanged; she gently told Lingxin to go to sleep, then leaned against the windowsill, lost in thought.

Hanxiao widened her eyes in surprise. "That master said the same thing," she thought the old monk must have had bad relations in the temple, which was why he'd been assigned this task.

With Xu Xian no longer blocking them, the excavator's bucket slammed against the Xie family's vermilion-painted gate and shoved forward—the entire gate crashed down in a cloud of dust.

"We've been tricked!" Xiang You's face turned utterly ashen with despair; his whole body trembled uncontrollably.

Since they'd been invited over to admire the camellias, no one lingered long in Xian'an Hall; they followed Princess Jin Yang and Li Jingyi toward Xiefang Tower.

He formed a hand seal, and snow began to drift from the sky; under the faint moonlight, the reflected light looked especially pure and bright.

He Yue and Yao Keke escorted Zhang Huijuan home; she was already drunk and unconscious. He Yue picked her up and laid her on the bed. Everything felt so familiar. He looked at the sleeping Zhang Huijuan, covered her with a blanket, then left with Yao Keke.

Outside the courtyard, cheers erupted. Liu Chong rushed over immediately, tears streaming down his face. This was undeniably his own flesh and blood.

The Prince of Liang and the Prince of Pei watched Gao Shun immobilized for two days and dared not force their way in, reveling in their triumph. Especially the Prince of Liang—he'd been humiliated by Liu Chong before and now felt thoroughly vindicated.

Mo Xi was taken away by the Hundred Flowers Immortal Palace? Based on these rumors, Qin Xiao judged the Hundred Flowers Immortal Palace to be no good. This mysterious organization surely had sinister intentions. If Mo Xi was taken, wouldn't she never come out again?

Qin Xiao extended his hand toward her in a gesture of calm, his expression serene, unhurried. As the long line drew near, the blood-red tongue loomed before him. Violent winds whipped his black hair. Only then did his eyes flick up, blazing with sharp light; his right wrist moved lightly—the Laughing Demon Blade flashed forth.

In midair, Ke Han clenched his teeth, staring downward. Facing the poisoned arrows hurtling toward him, he unleashed lightning from his mind, shattering the incoming projectiles.

Xia Tian now controlled over half of Dongshan Province's power and managed a wide array of industries—he urgently needed to establish a corporate group for centralized management.

Li Erhu drew out a long sound. Even if Zhang Daniu's ten men couldn't arrive, he still had over fifty men. The devils guarding the rear numbered no more than twenty—two-to-one odds, even more. How could the devils escape?

Xu Mo used one strategic location after another to stubbornly stall the Array Diagram's advance, and with the combined resistance of various factions opposed to the Array Diagram, they held back the Diagram's most intense waves of assault.

"As long as there's no life-threatening danger, that's good. Feng, I'm sorry—for what happened when we left my house." Ze said guiltily.

Since the fishpond matter had been placed on his shoulders, Zhou Yufu gritted his teeth and pushed forward anyway.
